F25, Electrum and Trezor
by Mark
Hi
I'm testing Electrum on Fedora 25 and I'm missing the support for
hardware wallet that Electrum is supposed to have. Do I need to install
some additional package or has this feature been omitted?
Cheers

Terrible F25 WiFi Performance
by Christopher
Since I upgraded to Fedora 25, I've had terrible network performance, and
I'm not sure what's causing it.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting or optimization?
Any known issues with the "Intel Wireless 7265D" card or the "iwlwifi"
driver in F25?
Everything worked great in F24, but since F25, I get poor download speeds,
and *REALLY* poor upload speeds. I should get a steady 25/25 Mbps down/up.
Instead, I get an unsteady 6-20 Mbps down, and only ~1 Mbps up. I've ruled
out everything but Fedora 25 (same hardware works fine in F24 and Windows),
and it's making me kinda want to go back to F24. :(

Networkmanagre Refuses to use my Dlink DWA-192 USB Wifi Device in F24
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
Some time ago I was using this device on the 2.4GHz channel (Linux
has always refused to use the 5GHz channel, I say Linux, because Ubuntu
has always refused to use the 5GHz channel as Fedora has always refused
to) and when it was working it was via the ATH9K driver.
I switched the network to using Ethernet devices which are still
working fine, but I wanted to go back to wifi again because the wifi
throughput is potentially faster (the Ethernet devices sends/receives at
500Mbps whereas the 2.4GHz channel on wifi sends/receives at 600Mbps, if
I could ever get the 5GHz channel working it sends/receives at
1300Mbps), but Networkmanager refuses to activate the wifi device now.
How do I identify whether its the 4.8 kernels which are the issue
or whether its Networkmanager and how do I rectify the situation? I am
using kde at the moment and I have cut and pasted the wifi password back
into the Networkmanager definition, and had the new password stored in
Kwallet, but Networkmanager still refuses to recognize that the device
is a device it can connect to. I should also add that the device works
fine under Windows 10.

Mount of NAS Ethernet Connect to Router Fails at Boot Time for CIFS
Interface in F24
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
My Nas device now fails to mount at boot time via the CIFS
definition in fstab but the corresponding NFS definition mounts quite
happily. Also after the system comes up and I log into KDE I can
manually mount the CIFS device. As far as I am aware the only difference
between when it was mounting at boot time and now is several system
updates, also the system update I did yesterday morning (which updated
several hundred packages, which included a new kernel) has not rectified
the issue. The systemctl output is below, I have blanked out the userid
and password for security reasons.
Does anyone have any ideas why this has now stopped working?

ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
my computer boot only in emergency mode ...
Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl
) these lines in red color :
ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
(and after..)
ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16)
That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs..
I found a possible solution to the problem in this post:
http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-e...
There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the
HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by
changing the position of a jumper on the HD...
I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this
way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this
operation..
So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs
(my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago).
I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an
obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can
do to go around in my problem..
>From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get:
give me this input :
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
Thank you

Dummy audio and no Wifi after upgrading to f25
by Tomas Repik
Hi,
I've been struggling with both audio and wifi since i upgraded from F24 to F25. I went through many advices and suggestions (different kernels, restarting, reinstalling both alsa and pulseaudio) to solve the issues with no result.
I don't have any audio feedback from my device (in audio settings only dummy output is shown). I filed a bug against pulseaudio [1]. I also provide output from lshw command [2].
It shows that both wifi and audio devices are UNCLAIMED (don't know what that mean).
thanks for any help

KVM and 3D?
by Tom Horsley
I saw a blog post that claimed virt-manager 1.4 has the
support for 3D video acceleration in virtual machines,
then I saw lots of comments in the blog saying that
it won't work without libvirt support. Since I always
thought virt-manager just called libvirt to do everything
that confused the heck out of me :-).
Are there instructions of dummies anywhere about how
to get 3D working in a virtual machine?
Is there any chance it will ever work in a Windows
virtual machine (the only reason I have a Windows hardware
box is because I need to run an app that insists on 3D
support).

Just further to my previous email, I have compiled the 8814au driver
following your instructions above and that has created device wlp3s0u2,
but the network is unable to activate it. The messages from dmesg are as
follows (what I haven't determined yet is whether or not the failure is
because I am currently using the ethernet interface).

One question I have, in the 8814 instructions above you mentioned:
// Adds missing Vendor/Product ID
$ sed -i '/0xA834/ a\\t{USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xA833), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* Edimax - Edimax */' os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c
Should the values inside the USB_DEVICE brackets be the idVendor and idProduct numbers mentioned in the dmesg output above?
